I continue to hear from people in Central Pennsylvania who have something to tell me about the Sandusky case or, more particularly, about his accusers.
Jerry Sandusky remains in prison, the victim of eight liars, three prosecutors, a ruthless judge and a reckless Penn State Trustee (and others.)
Six of the eight accusers who testified at trial either knew each other or knew someone who knew them. They all came from Central PA, not far from Penn State. There is plenty of evidence that the six collaborated and changed their stories to collect millions from Penn State.
“Victim 3” Jason Simcisko
A gentleman who knows one of the Sandusky accusers, Jason Simcisko, recently contacted me. He did not want his identity revealed, so I gave him a pen name and made some minor edits to what he told me for clarification. But I kept all the facts that he told me exactly as he explained them.

Many people in our community in Central Pennsylvania have been reading your stories about Jerry Sandusky. Your articles are starting to float around. I know one of the accusers, Jason Simcisko, who I personally don’t like.
People who know him have always felt Jason faked that Sandusky had abused him, faked the whole thing. After reading your stories, they seem to be sure of it.
I found out about your stories after some friends sent me the links. There are many people in this community who are interested. I sent the links to about 15 people and received several responses.
Recently, I was at a get-together with friends and talked to people who went to high school with Jason. I mentioned your article, and people had already read it.
“Yeah, it’s crazy,” one guy said, “I believe it 1000 percent because I have had other people telling me that this was all fake.”
Another person said almost the identical thing: “Yeah,” he said, “I believe it 100% that was made up.”
Suspicious
This dude’s family doesn’t have anything; they never had anything. He first told the police nothing had happened, and then the lawyer got in his ear and said he could make all this money. He lied and made millions.
Poker
I met Jason at a poker game. He played in small poker games throughout Central PA, and I often played with him. He had money when I met him in 2018. And people knew he had money. I’ve seen him lose thousands in poker games in these off-the-record, off-the-books places throughout Central PA.
When we played poker, there might be ten at a table. Usually, four or five of us were friends, and maybe three were friends of friends. He was the odd one. We would buy in at the Texas Hold-em table for $200. Jason would buy in for a thousand.
I’ve never seen him walk away a winner.
Found Out About Him
When I first played poker with him, I did not know he was one of the Sandusky accusers.
But one night when we played, the TV was on, but Jason did not hear it because he wore headphones.
Jason wore headphones because he thought he was a stud poker player. Sometimes, poker players wear headphones, because the game can get boring if you don’t get cards.
If you dive deep into the poker world, you will find a lot of people wearing headphones, sunglasses, and hooded sweatshirts. It’s a specific look.
The lady on TV said something about Sandusky and how he had molested little boys. A few of my friends started laughing, but avoided letting Jason know, as if he were the elephant in the room. I didn’t get it until Jason lost his money and left. Then they told me he was a Sandusky “victim.”
I said, Oh, okay.
Then, they gave me the impression that it didn’t happen and that everyone knew he was lying about it.
Loser
I played poker with him maybe 20 times and a few times with his friend Ryan Rittmeyer, another Sandusky accuser. Ryan looked the exact opposite of Jason. He seemed like one of those guys that came from the trailer park. Kind of obnoxious. Not cool to be around. I didn’t want to be around him much.
Ryan Rittmeyer preferred to lose his money in a casino.
I know Jason better. A lot of people I know know him. I don’t know many people who consider him a friend. He doesn’t talk much. He’s strange. He gives off a vibe of not being quite “there.”
Jason Simcisko
Vanished Money
I read in your article that he got a settlement from Penn State for $7.25 million in 2013. He wouldn’t have gotten all of it, because he had to pay the lawyers. But whatever he got – four million, five million dollars–whatever he got, it’s gone. He lost it all gambling.
I heard he lost $2 million in Vegas.
He’s a degenerate gambler. An impulse gambler. A guy who puts his money on anything just for the fact that he is gambling.
I understand he has to sell his house now because of his gambling debts. I don’t think he has two nickels to rub together.
Too Fast
I am also contacting you because I feel that if people do wrong, such as ripping off others, like he did to Penn State, they should be prosecuted. I don’t like it when people cheat the system. I believe Jason Simcisko lied to get money, just because he could. Nobody checked their stories out.
And let me tell you something else. That whole case happened way too fast. I would like to know the average time between an indictment and a trial for a sex abuse case. I knew someone who was a witness in a case. That took almost two years. The Sandusky case went from indictment to trial in seven months. So you know that all happened way, way, way too fast.
Phony Judge John Cleland had no interest in justice. He needed Sandusky convicted quickly.
Cheater
I know people today will do anything to get ahead, even if they hurt others. I know nothing about Jerry Sandusky. I’ve never met him. But I believe one thousand percent that Jason Simcisko was lying and hin taking money from Penn State is the same as stealing.
The fact that he gambled it all away doesn’t make any difference. Jason Simcisko should be arrested.
